Tho excessive beauty OF his language and ,ho
exquisite precision with which even In gn-

recall the traditions Of his grandfather. Lord
Piunket, whom old parliamentary critics
who had heard Canning AID Broagham and
Peel pronounced the finest speaker they had
ever known. What Is very remarkable about
Mr.. Plunket's oratory is that a certain stam-
mer or impedhnent in his speech, which IN
ordinary conversation Is so marked as TO DO
inconvenient, entirely vanishes as soon as be
is on his legs, leaving nothing but slight
deliberation which lends emphasis 70 his rho

but very broad His face is swarthy and
shaded by large black side whiskers. His
eyes are dark and piercing and have 10
trace of lunacy in their glances. His under
jaw is well developed. He does not show
premature age from excessive application,
but appears 70 be in the prime of life and tho
full enjoyment of a vigorous manhood For
many years he has devoted his time 10 per-

said that three months ago he perfected his
force. and in SIX months it would be given TO

been at work on scientific book, which win

Of IL, T" says a writer describing visit TO Mr.
Spurgeon's big church in London, "a bell
jinyled in the rear OF the church, and then
came a movement that filed the room with a
bewildering hustle II was the signal that
seats were no longer reserved and everybody
rushed for the best vacant one to be had.
When this tumult had subSided and precisely
az the minute a heavy, almost 'podgy,' man,
beyond the middle and still in the prime OF
life. came half kobbling down narrow aisle
leading from a door in toe rear 20 tho pulpit
platform. He had 10 help himself with hi:
hands alternately on the top of tho pevs be
tween which he passed. He walked heavily
and with apparent pain, the result Of the
rheumatic gout, which had again disabled
him and is liable to end his active labors ot
any time. Mr.. Spurgeon IS neither tai
nor short, but he Is stocky,' and with

sandy and face quite full blooded, he appears
